AS the Time Draws Nearer Combinations
Become More Probable.
Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. G.-The interest in
the senatorial race begins to increase as
the time for the meeting of the legisla-
ture approaches Friends Of Gov. Ireland
wEo nave recently come in from San An
tonic and other points say he is solid
with the country and will be nominated
on the third ballot. Il is believed that
Msxey will run neck and neck with Ire
land, with Terrell 2 good second, and
Reagan bringi. up the rear. 1t is
thought Hancock may possibly get COM
plimentary vote. TeEreli's friends will
stand firm 50 l0Tg SIS he
is II the fed. Knowing
ones predict that should Ter
rell be Withdrawn his strength will
60 over to Ireland and thus overN helm
M4X-y. Just how Reagan will run is q
study. Without doubt he will have re-
spectacle following among those legisla-
tors representing the ultra old states
rights wing Of the Democratic party of
Texas, and the snti-rsilroad sentiment of
tie state as well, but good judges conf
IDENTIFY predict that Reagan will be de-
feated and Withdrawn after the first bal
lot. On the second ballot some Of his
anti-monopoiy, anti-railroad supporters
may 90 over 10 Terrell.

CLIFTON. TEX Jan, 5, 1857.
To the Editor OF the Gazette.
In the event MIR. Resgan's friends will
not allow Gen. Maxey to become his own
successor, and still not able to elect Mr..
Reagan, how better could the friends Of
both serve their country than to unite on
Col. Olin Wellborn: Should such be the
result we, down here, could attribute the
defeat CT Col. Welloorn by Barney Gibbs
to an everything 2 evidence. We are at
a loss now to conjecture wig IL was that
Mr.. Gibbs should be the means of Col.
Wellborn's defeat, unless it be that
higher power, as IN days of old, "chose
the weak thing" to be the instrument in
His omnific hand to accomplish HIS ends.
We shall wait and see. All agree that
Col. WellbOrn is pre-eIninently lifted for
the United States senate, and If sent there
he will be, as he was in the lower house,
the peer of any man.
Standing as he does on pure Democratic
principles, deeply impressed with their
sacredness, fired by the importance of
strictly adhering to them, and gifted as
he is with the finest oratorical ability, ne
would indeed be power in their defense.
His defeat by Mr.. Gibbs does not retract
a particle from the brilliancy of his re-
cord in congress; nor does it in the least
disenthrone him from the affections of his
people; neither does it lessen their high
esteem of his patriotism and fidelity to
his country's best interests. And should
he be elected to the United States senate
none would hail it with greater Joy than
majority of the voters OF the Sixth con-
gressional districts j. II. r.

CRONTWELL'S LAST DITCH

The editor of the Peoples Advo-
cate has, after being driven from
every other point, finally based
his opposition to the confirmation
of Mr.. James G. Matthews for
Recorder of Dec DIS upon his COM
pleXion and the statement that he,
Matthews objected to living on
square where coIored people re-
sided" The complexion prejudice
which he endeavors 10 incite
against Mr.. Matthews is unworthy
OF any gentleman, and more es.
pecialIy one who edits colored
paper which is constantly COM
planning of color prescription on
the part of the whites against
colored people. As regards the
accuracy of the statement relative
to a choice of residence by Mr..
Matthews, the refutation of that
vile sIander is found in the fact
that Mr.. Matthews not only resides
in square surrounded by some
of the oldest aud best colored fam
lilies in Washington, but can also
feast his eyes upon and listen
daily to the "sweet and soothing"
music emanating from the throats
of over 1000 colored school chill
dren located in a building less
than 100 yards from his home.
Come brother Cromwell you are
nearing the ''last ditch" and you
can i'll afford as the great colored
editor of a great coIored paper
with picture gallery annex Of
great colored men, to stoop to such
petty meanness as before cited to
encompass the defeat of an honor

THE PU BLIC PRINTERS
CONFIRMATION.

The war waged against the
Public Printers conf nation is
without any cause worthy of the
struggle. The idea of making a
fight before an intelligent body
like the United States Senate upon
technical grounds is as foolish as
it is useless for Mr.. Benedict
ought to be and will be confirmed.
The lone charge against him is
that "he is not IA practical Fr!nter,"
that is to say from printers tech
nical standpoint VII ch means that
a mau must necessarily have
served regularly indentured ap-
premiership before he can become
a "placticai prlnter." Now, such
reasoning is all bosh, Mr.. Bene dict
is practical for every intent and
purpose of the law. lie is capa-
bic of successfully ouerating all
the machinery and implements of
the printers art however he came
TO know it and hat makes him
practical. The jealousy which ex-
lists among all classes of mechan-
les who have Sc we'd "a regular aL-
premiership Is cruel and uureason-
able TO those expert IN mechanical
arts but have not been indentured.
1t is as reasonable to say that no
man is educated who has not
graduated from college as to say
that a mau is not praclicdt me-
chanic because be was not regu-
larry indentured. Mr., Benedict
has fully demonstrated his ability
90 run the Government Printing
Office since be has had charge anu
that too with a very greatly re-
duced force of workmen. Let him
be confirmed regardless of all tech
nicalities.
